    The coaching of this team is woeful. When you have players who can’t complete the basic skills of hurling when unmarked and take 4 touches to get it into their hand !!! And yet again failed to contest any aerial ball !!! The Cork hurling public have become sheep and old foggies in the county board just like an old night as they hold the fort of progress back. Cork are so bad now Kerry would beat them

    Kilkenny deserved to win, but the ref was absolutely dreadful. Gave Cork nothing, Red card was crazy Kilkenny lads had the cork lad in a headlock and he gives the red to Cork. Good first half from Cork need to improve

    Thought there were green shoots in Jan and Feb but the same problems persist. Can’t win own ball. Hope for the best tactically. Hit a brick wall on the oppositon half back line. Early March but things looking ominous.

    Mcgrath is always against cork. I expected his performance in the game from the start. But cork lacked alot in the whole game.

    Kilkenny one of the All Ireland favourites? On what basis or form would you draw that conclusion? They might be using the League to blood new players, but they haven’t exactly excelled.

    @Kevin a blind man would see the ref favoured Kilkenny. + Kilkenny’s hurling is like soccer nowadays a bare touch and they fall to the ground Hogan was the proof of it today.

    Well 3 yellow cards n the first half a red n the second and 1 yellow for Kilkenny, even though the foul on Nash was deserving a yellow and a few more. Kilkenny were bad fair enough as cork were poor. But mcgrath could have reffed fairer.

    Stop talking shit Tim some of the decisions by the Ref were questionable to say the least and that has nothing to do with Frank Murphy.The problem in Cork is the Supply line has been cut for far too long and you can blame Frank or who ever you like for that but what we are seeing now is an improvement in the quality of young player coming in but it is alot to expect them to turn over a killkenny side at home especially after they looseing their earlier two rds.
